As we have dicussed in the last article, Backgammon is a casino game of skill and luck. The goal is to shift your checkers carefully around the board to your home board and at the same time your opposing player moves their checkers toward their inner board in the opposing direction. With competing player chips moving in opposing directions there is going to be conflict and the need for specific techniques at specific times. Here are the last 2 Backgammon techniques to finish off your game.
The Priming Game Tactic
If the aim of the blocking tactic is to hamper the opponents ability to shift his pieces, the Priming Game plan is to absolutely block any movement of the opponent by building a prime – ideally 6 points in a row. The opponent’s chips will either get hit, or end up in a bad position if he/she at all tries to leave the wall. The trap of the prime can be established anywhere between point two and point eleven in your game board. Once you have successfully assembled the prime to prevent the activity of the competitor, your opponent doesn’t even get to roll the dice, and you move your pieces and toss the dice yet again. You will be a winner for sure.
The Back Game Plan
The goals of the Back Game tactic and the Blocking Game strategy are similar – to harm your opponent’s positions with hope to better your chances of winning, but the Back Game plan relies on seperate techniques to do that. The Back Game strategy is generally employed when you are far behind your competitor. To play Backgammon with this tactic, you need to hold two or more points in table, and to hit a blot late in the game. This tactic is more challenging than others to play in Backgammon because it needs careful movement of your chips and how the pieces are relocated is partially the outcome of the dice roll.
